The Hidden by Bill Pronzini

I must admit, I haven’t read Bill Pronzini’s books in quite a while but this one is worth the read.

If you are a mystery buff who loves the howling wind, the rain pouring down a dark winding road, and a serial killer, then you are in for a treat.

Shelby and Jack Macklin decide to give their marriage a jump start and take a friend up on the loan of his coastal cottage for a few days. They have some difficulty finding it, so they enlist the aid of a local police officer. While ensconced in the cottage they encounter some troubled neighbors and are caught up in a brutal winter storm.

While this entry is no Lee Childs or Harlan Coben, it stands up straight as a good mystery.

Ladybookbug!
